The Standoff

Jack Widow, Book 12

De: Scott Blade

Narrado por: Alan Philip Ormond

A police raid gone horribly wrong. A band of deadly cult-terrorists on the run. A family held hostage. One man no one counted on to be there—Jack Widow.

When an ATF raid on a cult compound goes horribly wrong, the cult leader and his band of deadly terrorists escape.

On the run and desperate, they need a place to hide. A remote family farm makes for the perfect place. But there’s one big problem. The family that lives there has a guest—a drifter they picked up by the name of Jack Widow.

Widow, the ultimate loner, comes to a standoff with pure evil in the million-selling action-thriller series.

Fans of Lee Child’s Jack Reacher, Tom Clancy’s Jack Ryan, Vince Flynn’s Mitch Rapp, and Mark Greaney’s Gray Man will love the Jack Widow Action-Thriller Series.

Best Jack Widow book yet

This is the best Jack Widow book released in audio yet! Alan and Scott brings Widow to life so much in this book. The book shows a human side of Widow that I don’t think as present in the others in the series.

Can’t wait for the next audio book. Thanks

Solid

A little far-fetched, but very solid Widow story. I thought the ending could have been a little bit better.

Best yet!!

This book is the best I have read so far. Edge of the seat for a lot of it.

Great story

Very well narrated and really good story. Reacher has competition. Hope to see it on the big screen someday.

Great story line

I loved this book it was fast moving great story line one of his best

Great all around!

Just don’t get political like Lee & Andrew Child did. Will get every Jack Widow book.

Great Book they get better and better

Great book. My favorite in the entire Jack Widow series. Action, thriller, adventure and a feel good ending.

Vengeful general

A former general, turned cult leader, sacrifices his cult for his ultimate plan. ..revenge. A good Samaritan gives Widow a ride and invitation to have dinner with his family. The cult leader and his squad have holed up in an abandoned farm next door to Widow’s host. See where this is going? That’s right…Widow puts an end to that leader’s plan! Another action packed story.

Child and Blade should do a collaboration!!!!

WOW! I can’t believe a book from Scott Blade that’s almost 14 hours!! I was delighted to see this. I check periodically for new releases of his books since they are already available on Amazon and have been for a while. I’m not sure why it’s taking so long for them to make it to audio but am very happy when another gets released.
I also wanted to say how happy I am that the author continues to have Alan Philip Ormond narrate this series. Ormond is a top rate narrator who in my opinion doesn’t narrate enough books in the mystery/thriller genre. I think he could read a medical chart and make it sound suspenseful!!
When a siege on a cult compound in South Carolina goes horribly wrong (visions of Waco), the leader of the group gets away.
Meanwhile Jack Widow has caught a ride with a local tree farmer. He’s invited to stay the night with his family. The next day Widow wakes up to find the friendly farmer has gone missing with a stranger they find out is one of the cult members who got away. The ATF shows up with local law enforcement and of course Widow gets involved. He can’t allow these cult members to destroy this family. They’re nice people and invited him into their home. He shared family time with them and remembers how his own childhood differed from this. How he never had a real family and how he missed out on the love and tenderness these people had.
I absolutely love this series. I know it’s been said how this character reminds many of the Jack Reacher series but honestly the two are interchangeable! You could easily change Jack Widow to Jack Reacher and the the story would be just as good.
This book as well as the entire series has MY VERY HIGHEST RECOMMENDATION!!!!
If you found this review helpful please indicate so.
